(3,096 posts)those things spell the end of our republic, they are just things we don't like. Do you have Jan 6'rs on your lawn menacing you? Are a handful of FBI lawyers the core our our governmental operations? And the NIH isn't "disbanded" either. All of this is just more hyperbole. Are these things bad? Maybe, maybe not, let's see what actually happens. None of his "loyalist shitbags" can turn the lights off.
Moral of the story is, I suggest we stop with the ridiculous doom predictions. There is a reason no one takes us seriously anymore, and this kind of thing is exactly why.
And yes, I do read news. But I don't silo myself from multiple sources either. I want news to tell me the truth, not just tell me what I might like to hear. And this will ruffle feathers, but the left leaning media sources are often just as dishonest as Fox news.
Real truth can be a giant asshole, but that doesn't change what it is.
